NICE MAN!!! how much did you spend on that?

Lol.. I spent about 1.5k along with some other parts I didn't mention.

Edit: Just as a warning for you guys. 32bit windows doesn't register 4GB ram if you have 4GB except for windows server 2003. So if you guys want to use the full 4GB ram, you gotta make the switch to 64bit. As for me. I can make do without the 1gb of ram since support will have to go to 64bit sooner or later.

Overall, it's shit. Good thing I installed it on my other HD and tried it before updating from XP, couldn't live with having to use it :o

thats why i got two 19"widescreens.
just turn off confirming thingy
games is still gay under vista

but in the end i still do like vista :rolleyes:

I Love Vista
The only issue I had was getting the game Call of Duty 2 to work, but I got it working
everything else I have installed has worked fine.
just make sure you get all the updates as they come out.

I tried Vista for about a week and I switch back to XP. My conclusions about Vista, it's a hungry resources OS. Aero is the only things great about Vista. I can live without Aero atm.

Those ppls who like Vista becos it's new. No one ever stated the pros of using Vista.

I don't see a reason why switch to Vista when XP is still usable.

disable search indexer, system raper. set to merely the startmenu.
Also defragmentation is set to auto, disable to manual
tweak the fuck out of it and it does wonders.

uac is astoundingly mindboggling.

yeah vista has a lot of issues, but some virtues.

Best tip I could give you regarding Windows Vista would be to switch back to Windows XP until they release Service Pack 1

Why? A little detail here would go a long way.

I used to use GoBack to protect my XP, and now return to AyRecovery to protect my Vista, since goback does not support Vista, everything went well so far
